Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Natalie Merchant

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Natalie Merchant's, "Kind and Generous"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I want to f*** you, f*** you.

The Real Lyrics:

I want to, thank you, thank you.

The Story: My brother (yes this boy again! :D), my mom and I were driving to the mall, and we were listening to this song on the radio. My mom was singing along and I sang, 'You know, it sounds like she's saying I want to f*** you.' My mom look over at me, laughed and said, 'No Stef, she's saying thank you.' I told her that I knew and we kept on driving. - Submitted by: Stefie
